Marauder

As Lance pointed out, it all starts with the logs. It looks like it has only flown once in April. I would get a copy of the logs and see what kind and how much maintenance has been done over the past few years. It will be a bit of a project plane if you need support on any of the older avionics.

There may have been some late 1975 manufactured F models that were designated 75 models but had the single pane windows. I know the 76 F models were the first with the single pane rear windows and that carried over to the 1977 J model as did the quadrant controls and a few other things.

You guys ever use yours for real? I found that the amount of power reduction to get down from altitude and to fly an approach was pretty dramatic. I couldn’t wait to replace mine with an electronic version. I also wondered what would happen if the vacuum pump detonated and partially plugged things up.

Your website shows the new G3 as a “24V/28V”. Suspect that is a typo.

Now I suppose you want to buy back your Allen foldable bikes now too! Welcome back!

I mentioned to Craig yesterday that PMs were not working. I had contacted Tapatalk and they told me MooneySpace didn’t have the current plug in loaded. Maybe the new website has broken that plug in?

Craig - I hope the folks at Tapatalk reached out to you about their updated plug-in. The PMs aren’t working with your site and Tapatalk. Everything else appears to be working correctly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hey Dan. I think the symptoms present themselves differently for people. I never had swollen feet when I had DVTs. I had them a year before I actually came down with DVTs. The ultrasound procedure is pretty easy and doesn’t take much time to do. Might bring peace of mind to have it checked out. Might be worthwhile letting your doc know that you flew a long flight and get their input. For the MooneySpace community, Dan is one MooneySpacer who has seen me in my sexy compression socks.

My experience was a lot different. The first time the only thing I noticed was one of my calf’s looked bigger. It was, almost an inch wider than the other leg. It was also warm to the touch. I should add that my clots extended from my ankle to my mid thigh. I also had a small one behind my other knee. These symptoms showed up over a week after that extended business trip. I went out to aerate the lawn and I was pooped doing it. I knew something wasn’t right but didn’t know for sure until the next morning. The second time it happened to the other calf. This time, I noticed a pain like you get with a Charley Horse. Just the dull ache before the really sharp pain. The leg was swollen a little and the clot was limited to the upper calf area. I also felt “off”. The good news is the treatment has changed a lot over the years. The first time it was Heparin, Lovenox and 6 months on Coumadin (aka rat poison). Of course you had a nice hospital stay. And don’t forget the obligatory FAA SI process and all the tests to look for cause. Today, it is the ER, pop a pill and talk to your docs to find out what may have caused it. I think the purpose of this thread is to let you know that there is a risk out there. It can be managed but you need to be proactive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

He meant to say “oatmeal with rivaroxaban flavoring”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I will add one thing. When the ATAS triggers, it has been 100% accurate as to a real risk. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I’ll second Stephen’s observations. Having flown behind the Lynx 9000+ for the past 5 years, there is a lot going with the detection and reporting. Everything from shadowing to distance limitations are at play. Another thing that will make planes disappear is whether or not the Lynx mode is set to something that is other than unrestricted. I fly in an area that is pretty much an ADS-B mandate area. In theory, I should see few TAS targets, but I still see them in mandate areas. Here is an example. I’m flying into my home airport. The brown target on the ground showed up when I am on final. At the same time an airliner leaving Philly shows up as a TAS. Why would an airline show up as a TAS target? A few moments later, that TAS target showed up as a standard target. Shadowing? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Some of it is the gravity thing. If you are laying prone, it is easier for blood to return to the heart. That said, people who end up in bed for long periods of time are at a higher risk. You will sometimes see them using inflatable leg wraps in the hospital for people undergoing surgery. I have a set that I use when I am home sitting for a while.

I’ll share a little more detail on blood clots. I have had DVTs twice. I went through reaaaallly extensive tests (full body MRIs, genetic tests, etc.) to determine the cause (my family has 0 history of it). None of the tests could identify the cause. I have read that some researchers believe a non-identified gene still may be to blame. I was fortunate that I didn’t throw any pulmonary embolisms. Both episodes occurred after really long business trips. The first time I knew I was a bit dehydrated but had no idea how sitting dehydrated and not moving could result in DVTs. There were warning signs (swelling ankles for one) that I ignored. The second time came 7 years later. I was cattle packed on an international flight and due to turbulence, didn’t drink much. I had my compression socks on and was on 81 mg aspirin. I should have been doing leg exercises and forced myself to drink more and let the attendants deal with the puddle under my seat. [emoji15] Since the last episode, I am extremely careful flying long legs. I fly shorter legs in my plane, drink water like a fish, have an Amazon subscription to Travel Johns [emoji13] and make sure my AP is in top shape so I can stretch the legs and get in those leg exercises. Here is the sobering point. Since I had a number of follow up visits for ultrasounds on my legs to determine the extent of scarring, I got to know the techs well. I asked a few of them if they ever saw patients who clearly had evidence of old DVTs but didn’t know they had them - everyone of them said yes. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you can’t get them. Serena Williams, Joey Sindelar and Jimmy Bosh got them. Along with a number of other young athletes. Not to mention Jimmy Stewart died from a clot in his lung as well as Gary Shandling from a clot in his heart. Sorry for soap box, but after my experiences, thought it would be beneficial to share my experiences. It is a sneaky killer… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

He is treated like an airline flight. They go through the TSA security screening. From what Dan has said, they are a bit more thorough (like opening up luggage for visual inspection). I think he also said they can be cleared into KILG on a return flight if they clear TSA at other airports like KABE OR Dulles. @danb - any more details? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

My biggest fear is they change the timing of the TFR while I am airborne. I’m constantly monitoring it when I am out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Dan is fortunate that his airport KILG is served by TSA. He can get out using the TSA process. Unfortunately, my airport is locked down. For us to get out during the TFR means we need to relocate our planes to KILG, KMQS or KOQN. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

They were testing your flying skills to see if you would bust the inner ring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Besides, you always wear cargo pants - who would know you had them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You betcha. You’ll be surprised how many people had DVTs and never knew. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’ll second Steven’s comments about whether or not you are seeing TAS targets. I have noticed a significant drop off of TAS targets over the past couple of years. Also keep in mind Mode A/C are the typical TAS targets. I believe Mode S is treated differently. Another thing to do is review the limitations that unit puts on TAS reporting. It won’t provide advisories for these targets unless they meet the criteria indicated in the Lynx POH. Here is an example of some of the limitations: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

And you guys were making fun of my compression socks [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That’s what I did to help alleviate the congestion on the upper skin. One thing to keep in mind is the ELT is not an active antennae. So, as long as it does not block anything, you may be able to put in closer to another antennae.

So, are you headed there to finally make your panel worthy of the paint job? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
